The protective divine light of the Tiansang sacred tree is powerful, but the Tiansang sacred tree itself is weak and can be harmed.
Therefore, there are always level eight and level nine monsters guarding the Tiansang sacred tree.
Xia Zhu is an eighth-level monster with a gentle temperament and little fighting power.
Originally, Xia Zhu was not qualified to guard around the Tiansang sacred tree, but because she was a demon beast transformed from a Pure Spirit Rabbit, and the Pure Spirit Rabbit could play a very good purifying role on the Tiansang sacred tree, she was allowed to approach the sacred tree.
Xia Zhu also heard the news of Wang's injury at this time, and walked in the woods with worry.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in front.
"Who?!" Xia Zhu shouted, "Where are you from, little demon? Don't you know that you can't get close to here?"
The area where Xia Zhu is now is still some distance away from the Tiansang sacred tree, but it is already a restricted area.
"Xia Zhu, it's me." A tall and slender man slowly walked out from behind the tree, looking at Xia Zhu with focused and gentle eyes.
Xia Zhu screamed "Ah" when she saw the person coming, and whispered: "Lu Lang, you... why are you here?"
The man looked to be about 25 or 26 years old, with handsome features and an elegant temperament. He looked at Xia Zhu with a gentle gaze, "Xia Zhu, ever since you saved me last time and I returned to the human world, I have been thinking about you all the time. Today, I finally couldn't help it and wanted to come and see you."
When Xia Zhu heard his words, her face immediately turned red. She spoke in a low voice, with reproach and joy, "The Monster Forest is so dangerous for you humans. Why did you come back? Do you want to be hurt as badly as last time?"
The man took a step forward, grabbed Xia Zhu's snow-white hand, and said in an excited voice: "Xia Zhu, as long as I can see you again, I am willing to die, let alone just get hurt?"
Xia Zhu only felt that the man's hand was icy cold and had a bitter taste, but she didn't care about it. She just thought that the man was too nervous and too eager to see her.
Xia Zhu lowered her head, her heart pounding, her face flushed red, but when she thought of the king being hurt by humans, her expression darkened and she broke free from the man's hand, "Lu Lang, you... you'd better leave! You're a human, and I'm a demon. If we were together, heaven and earth would not tolerate it. Besides, our kings were hurt by humans, and I... even if I like you, the king won't agree."
When the man heard the words "the king was hurt by humans", a dark light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He grabbed her hand again and said excitedly: "Xia Zhu, I really want to take you away, but I know you have to guard your sacred tree and can't leave. But I won't give up, I will wait for you until your king agrees that we can be together. Although I am a human, my love for you is known by the sun and the moon."
After saying that, the man resolutely let go of Xia Zhu's hand, turned around and strode away.
Xia Zhu looked at the man's back, her eyes slightly red.
This man was someone she accidentally rescued in the Monster Forest a few months ago. Although she knew that monsters should keep a distance from humans, this man was so gentle, intelligent, and unique.
He would tell Xia Zhu many stories about the outside world, comfort and encourage her gently, and use his spiritual power to comb her body meridians.
Xia Zhu liked this man so much that she secretly rescued him and cured him. (To be continued)
